Online system makes it easier and faster for
owners to comply with new regulations
Short-term property owners in Clear Creek County, Colorado, can
now obtain annual permits and pay application fees online at
https://clearcreekcounty.munirevs.com. This website makes it easier
for owners to complete forms and comply with new regulations that
ensure short-term rentals meet minimum health and safety guidelines
as well as minimize impacts to neighbors.
Short-term rentals are nightly or weekly rentals (excluding
commercial properties such as hotels and motels) for less than 30
consecutive days.
“We have a huge demand for people who want to come to the
mountains for recreation, and we don’t have enough lodging to meet
that demand,” said Clear Creek County’s Community Development
Director, Fred Rollenhagen. “We have a lot of property owners who
want to occasionally rent out their homes. By developing a website
dedicated to short-term rental compliance permitting, my staff can
handle the entire permitting process electronically; from submittal
of initial application and fees to issuance of the permit. Any
complaints or concerns about specific, short-term rentals are also
handled through the website which greatly streamlines the process
for applicants and my staff.” While application fees can be paid to
the county through the website, lodging tax payments must go
directly to the Colorado Department of Revenue.
“Colorado consistently ranks in the top 25, U.S. travel
destinations, and we’re receiving more requests from counties in
mountain areas like Clear Creek to address it,” said Colorado
Interactive President and General Manager, Mike Ansley. “Clear
Creek County is proactively utilizing technology to help it meet an
increasing demand and making it easier for the end user to meet
compliance. It’s a win for both.”
Clear County’s website incorporates the payment integration API
(application program interface) from Colorado Interactive (CI) and
the Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA). The result is a
website that enables the county to accept payments from property
owners in a secure environment with the highest level of Payment
Card Industry (PCI) compliance. MUNIRevs was also engaged as a
vendor on the project due to its experience providing paperless
services to lodging and short-term accommodation providers.
"SIPA is dedicated to providing secure and efficient services to
governments across the state," said Jack Arrowsmith SIPA Executive
Director. "MUNIRevs' secure environment, matched with our payment
processing with the highest level of PCI compliance, meets the
security needs of governments who look to us to help them put more
information and services online."
CI provides digital government services to state agencies, local
governments and educational entities through a contract with SIPA —
the official internet portal connecting the public with Colorado
government. The partnership’s mission allows government leaders to
focus on delivering on-demand, digital government solutions without
requests for proposals or the use of tax appropriations. Eligible
government entities in need of payment processing or payment
integration services should contact SIPA.
